    摘要: A drip coffee maker includes an electronically-controllable variable valve to regulate water/coffee contact time in a brew basket. In some instances, the electronically-controllable variable valve may be movable within a continuous range of positions and may be disposed downstream of the brew basket to regulate the flow rate of coffee produced in the brew basket to a brewing container. In addition, in some instances, the electronically-controllable variable valve may include a valve member that projects through a port and moves along a first axis to vary a fluid flow rate through the port, and a wedge body that moves along a second axis and includes an inclined surface capable of causing movement of the valve member along the first axis in response to movement of the wedge body along the second axis.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are a drip coffee machine and a liquid discharge device used therefor including: a liquid providing module having a discharge pipe discharging liquid to coffee beans; a rotation module having an actuator generating rotational force, a driven gear rotated by receiving the rotational force, and a base plate rotated by being connected to the driven gear, the base plate being configured to move the discharge pipe along a rotation trajectory when rotated; and a translation module including a translation drive unit having an elastic pull member elastically deflecting the discharge pipe along a translation trajectory, an adjustment cam installed to be rotatable with respect to the base plate to adjust the position of the discharge pipe elastically deflected within the translation trajectory by the elastic pull member in the one direction or the other direction opposite to the one direction and having its outer circumferential surface in contact with the discharge pipe, and an intermediate unit transmitting the rotational force generated by the actuator to the adjustment cam , wherein the discharge pipe discharges the liquid while being moved along a discharge trajectory in which the rotation trajectory and the translation trajectory are combined with each other.

    摘要: In pour-over brewing, a vessel containing water can be suspended over a brew basket so that the water can drain, under gravity, into the brew basket and onto the coffee, and the water level in the brew basket is used to regulate the flow of water from the vessel. A vessel that is closed, other than the mouth thereof, and containing brew-heated water, is suspended over the brew basket so that the water can drain from the mouth of the vessel into the brew basket and into the ground coffee to brew liquid coffee, which drains into a container. Rising of the water in the brew basket causes interruption of drainage of the water from the mouth of the vessel into the brew basket, and lowering of the water in the brew basket causes resumption of drainage of the water from the mouth of the vessel into the brew basket.

    摘要: A beverage brewer spray apparatus includes a lid, dispersal members, and a skirt. The lid has an obverse and converse surfaces. The dispersal members extend from the converse surface of the lid at open proximal ends of the dispersal members. The skirt has a proximal end fixed to and extending outward from the converse surface of the lid. Each dispersal member has a sidewall and a distal end defining an interior of the dispersal member. The sidewall has apertures arranged in a distal section of the sidewall. The lid has through-holes formed between the obverse and converse surfaces, and the dispersal members are fixed to the converse surface such that the through-holes provide fluid communication from the obverse surface of the lid to the apertures through the interiors of the dispersal members. The apertures are configured to direct liquid outward from the dispersal members.

    摘要: A beverage brewer includes a brewing material holder and a movable water-dispensing member configured to receive a flow of liquid and including ports configured to release received liquid into the brewing material holder. The brewer can also include a water-dispersing assembly disposed above the brewing material holder to receive the flow of liquid. The movable water-dispensing member can be couplable to the water-dispersing assembly to receive the flow of liquid. The water-dispersing assembly can include a reservoir having an outlet, such as a funnel. The movable water-dispensing member can be configured to move, such as to rotate, due to a force of pressure provided by the flow of liquid. The force of pressure provided by the flow of liquid can be caused, for example, by the weight of the liquid. The reservoir can include a constricted portion providing a venturi effect.

    摘要: An infusion beverage brewing device includes a filter assembly and a brewing mechanism. The filter assembly has an outer filter cup and an inner filter cup. The inner filter cup has an inner cup-body, and the outer filter cup has an outer cup-body. A gap and a vapor diffusion outlet are formed between the outer cup-body and the inner cup-body. The outer filter cup has a bottom outlet disposed a sealing device. The brewing mechanism has a cup retainer, a cover and a controlling device. The cover is disposed on the cup retainer, and the controlling device is connected to the cover. The filter assembly is disposed in the cup retainer. The cover is selectively disposed on the filter assembly. The cover is disposed with a sprinkle-nozzle and a vapor portal. The vapor portal corresponds to the vapor inlet of the inner filter cup.
